The Website only asks your browser for your precise location if you allow it, and only uses it to show your position on maps and to improve the location recorded with your visit. You can turn it off at any time in your account preferences, in the cookie settings or in your browser. If you turn on web push or desktop notifications, your browser gives us an address we use to send them. We store it until you turn notifications off or your browser tells us it is no longer valid.
We do not sell your information. Some features of the Website load content from other organisations, who receive your IP address and browser details when your browser contacts them: Google (reCAPTCHA spam protection), CamSecure (webcam), the Environment Agency (tide and water data), the map tile providers OpenStreetMap, Esri and CARTO. If you accept Analytics cookies, visit statistics are processed by our own Matomo service and by Google Analytics, if either is switched on. Our web hosting and email providers also process information on our behalf. See the Cookie Policy for the full list.
You may exercise certain rights regarding your information: (i) withdraw consent; (ii) object to processing; (iii) access your data; (iv) verify and seek rectification; (v) restrict processing; (vi) seek erasure; (vii) receive your data in a machine-readable format. To use any of these rights, contact us using the details below and we will reply within one month. If you are not happy with how we have handled your information you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
